Who We Are
This web site has been developed by City of
Fort Collins, Colorado and E-Star Colorado.
 City of Fort Collins is a progressive municipality located along the northern
Front Range of Colorado. The City of Fort Collins
Utilities operates the citizen-owned electric utility, a
trusted source of information about energy efficiency for more than 20 years.
The City of Fort Collins Utilities has been recognized statewide and nationally
for its forward-looking work on energy efficiency. The City of Fort Collins
Building and Zoning Department is widely known as a leader in
Colorado for implementing progressive building codes.
 E-Star is a Colorado non-profit organization committed to advancing energy
efficiency in housing. To meet this objective, E-Star partners with, supports,
and provides information through its energy ratings and other programs to
participants in the housing industry. This includes homeowners and homebuyers,
builders, home energy raters, real estate professionals, code officials, and
utilities. E-Star understands the diverse concerns of each of these groups in
respect to energy efficiency and its interrelation with factors such as
construction schedules, comfort, home value, environmental issues, and cost
concerns.
City of Fort Collins and E-Star Colorado are collaborating to develop the
Colorado New Home Choices web site. This is part of a campaign to increase
public awareness about problems and opportunities as new homes are designed and
built. With more information, these organizations are optimistic that buyers and
the housing industry will become partners in making high-performing homes the
next “industry standard.”
